We were helped by Clover as soon as we walked in, she answered every question and was patient with our indecisiveness while choosing jewelry. She explained the post care in great detail that even a 4 year old can do it. Raven was the one who did the piercings. She has steady hands and made sure we felt comfortable. Getting pierced can be a bit nerve racking but SLO piercing helped ease our minds. Great job to Clover and Raven. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I recently got my bridge done by their new piercer Brandon and although i was in a rush, he was very informative and even gave me an information sheet and did a lot of measuring and now my bridge is looking great. Friendly and prompt service and my questions were answered. Also a lot of jewelry options but i stuck to titanium. i also appreciate this location is open almost everyday and open late so i can swing by after my workday.

Got my tongue pierced here 2 weeks ago. Was very nervous to get it so I didn't realize till after…read morebut the piercer didn't even have me use mouthwash beforehand and didn't use a clamp. Had to take it out today because I went to a different piercer to get a different bar and she told me I should take it out because of how crooked it was. The lady that pierced me was very nice and comforting but the quality and safety of what she did is not okay. And the tongue is a very serious thing to pierce and it should be taken seriously. I understand everyone makes mistakes but she shouldn't have let me walk out seeing how crooked it was. I've never left a review on a business before but this kind of thing is too important not to share. Everyone was very friendly so no issue on that.

Very efficient, knowledgeable, and great prices for jewelry and piercing work. I can rely on him when i have a piercing emergency or questions. The tattoo designs in the books look really rad too. The shop is also nicely situated by a thrift store and a book store so it's an all around cool and unique location close to the beach and my work. i also appreciate being able to walk in and be seen promptly.

Letters... no creative design , cut and paste .no Color , no shading and no difficulty. . One hour from start to finish. Most of that time being, him prepping and doing placement on his iPad. I almost puked when he told me how much it was, especially since I was paying cash I set the money down and walked out the door. I am in the Salon studio business. Even with him quoting me $150+ over the phone. I thought plus + what $? OK ,whatever ,I have to remind myself that the economy is different from a year ago from my last tattoo i.e. the cost. I am an overly generous tipper, so thankfully, I walked in with only a minimal amount of CASH , double the amount quoted because I DID intend on adding a few chochkies....not feeling bad , more feeling bamboozled, about giving him just a $25 tip. I felt bad for 30 seconds before I left. Eeeeesh Lordy this is a shot right to the kooter....lesson learned. Get a $$$ finished* amount ~ before the needle hits the skin. Dang it During the phone call I did ask him what his shop fee was and I was just told for the tattoo,I'm looking at $150 / $175 ... Call me I'll give you my dudes number in Encino, the most epic little shop with a rad vibes and of course, the tattoos are legendary I'm just gonna go on living my best life, but throw caution to the wind and get a solid price . Ps he wrapped my arm and plastic wrap. I usually get the saniderm or the Tagaderm since I am a stylist.

My first visit with Gary was 2010ish. I lived locally and was reviewing the Sailor Jerry site for…read moresome flash as my first tattoo. That was where I first saw Gary's work he was a featured artist, and I was lucky enough to live a couple blocks from his tattoo parlor in the GBC. I asked if he could do my feet with my constellation. Cancer the crab and include the words Bitter Water in Navajo. I was honestly expecting maybe like stars and 69 or something like that. What he drew blew my mind away and exceeded my expectations. I have a crab walking across my foot with waves, a sandollar, and starfish. When my feet are together, it's a beautiful masterpiece, and the waves fit connecting my feet to make one flowing tattoo. The original drawing had flowers, I'm not that kinda girl, and I asked if he could make a change. Within a few minutes, he presented me with the sandollar and starfish. It was two sessions, and before anyone asks yes it hurt all tattoo " hurt." I love standing in the ocean and being amazed by my feet. That was my first tattoo almost 14 years ago! My second tattoo was my family tree. My sister has Steamboat Willie on her ankle, my other sister is a Marine, my mom's name is Kat, and my father has passed away. Every family is a little psycho and that's the haunted house on my upper arm. My sister is depicted as a zombie Mickey Mouse, and my other sister is the little green military toy hiding in the bushes. My mom's favorite cat is a Siamese cat. So, there's a siamese cat walking along a Mason grave with my dad initials. It's fantastic. Honestly, a day doesn't go by without someone complimenting all of my tattoos, especially the haunted house. Posted below are photos of my anchor, jellyfish, Poseidon, seahorse, shark, otter, and goldfish. When you find an artist that truly listens to what you want and exceeds your expectations every single time, I'm the lucky one. All this work has been done over the years and as recent as two weeks ago. I live in Los Angeles and choose to drive up to the GBC to get my work done by Gary! T Thanks, Mate
